Papa John's and Marmite have joined forces to create the most controversial pizza-inspired dish since someone decided adding pineapple would be good idea.

Marmite and Cheese Scrolls, which Papa Johns say are 'moreish', are a hybrid - part pizza and part pastry - with Marmite swirled on top of Papa John’s fresh, pillowy dough base, covered with cheese, rolled up and baked.

The scrolls are inspired a savoury sensation that has taken bakeries across Australia by storm and will be on Papa John’s menu this January, with a distinctive British twist; swapping Vegemite for the country’s most loved (and hated) yeasty spread, Marmite.

The scrumptious dough scrolls, which are available in servings of eight per portion, are loaded with lashings of Marmite and melted cheese and are a sure-fire way to brighten up even the dullest month of the year.

Liz Williams, Managing Director for Papa John's said: “We’re excited to be the first to launch this delicious dish on our menu in the UK and given its popularity in Australia, we’re confident UK customers are going to love them too.

“The Papa John’s research and development team have worked Marmite(y) hard to create a dish with a winning combination of Marmite, dough and cheese – what’s not to love?”

To celebrate the arrival of the Marmite and Cheese Scrolls, Papa John’s will be sharing a special month-long offer that includes: Large Pizza, Marmite & Cheese Scrolls and one other side*plus a 1.5l bottle of Pepsi all for an appetising £18.99.
